Accuracy?

"It goes where I'm looking."
For me, some bows I make are more conducive to consistant, accurate shooting. They make it easier for me to maintain good form, which is the main variable after proper spine has been selected. It doesn't take me long to figure out whether a particular bow has it or not. I feel every bow I make has the capability to be a tack driver, some just make me work harder at it.

I mean, if the arrow is tuned, one should be able to look straight down the shaft and have the arrow go straight, right? (Just something I've been assuming
Pappy:
Yes if you want to anchor right under you eye. We call that gun barreling or tube shooting, I know some that shoot that way. :)

bjrogg:
One thing that helped me a lot. When I started making shoot arrows I just used the one that had the best flight. Pick your quietest, best flight arrow and only use it. It just takes a lot of variables out of the process. Try to get that one to go where your looking, or pointing however you shoot. When you get that one going where it's supposed to, make some more just like it. I'm sold on bare shaft testing, but I realize how difficult it is until you develop consistency.

Pat, would you care to say whether you find it easier (or not), to find the properly spined arrow for the centershot over the 2"wide?
